What was the World Trade Organization (WTO) previously known as?

  1. The League of Nations

  2. The European Union

  3. The United Nations

  4. General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

The correct answer is: General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

The WTO was previously known as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). This organization was created after World War II to regulate and reduce trade barriers between countries. While the League of Nations, the European Union, and the United Nations are all important international organizations, none of them have ever been known as the WTO. Therefore, they are incorrect options. The key to answering this question correctly is to have a basic understanding of the history and purpose of the WTO and to eliminate the other choices based on their lack of connection to the organization.
